    Strawberry Fruity Crepes

    Service was really fast and the food was good. The side of bacon was over $5 and quite salty.

    Despite it being a busy Sunday morning, the hostess was able to get us seated quickly. I'd highly recommend the Banana Bread French Toast- it was very tasty and not overly sweet. The pecans and caramel added so much to it! This location is well staffed, clean, and inviting. PS. Great sausage links!

    The food was delicious, it came so quickly. Waiter was kind and relatable. The table was sticky from the last guests.

    I love Lincoln Square Pancake House, as it's a staple of Indianapolis. I was thrilled to see this new location on the northeast side. Their Banana Bread French Toast is so good!!! I love it so much, I have a hard time ordering something new from the menu. I do really need to branch out, as so many items on the menu sound delicious. Also, the coffee is great, and I love the large, heavy mug it's served in. Our waitress was fantastic, and we will definitely be back! Welcome to the neighborhood!!

    Lincoln Square - Shadeland Interior
    Richard P.

    It's no secret that I'm a fan of the Lincoln Square Pancake House Central Indiana-based chain of breakfast/brunch restaurants. Started by George Katris in 1989, Lincoln Square now includes 11 Central Indiana locations including this most recently opened spot on Shadeland Avenue in the spot vacated by Alibi's. This is very convenient to the Community Health Network campus and I can easily see it becoming a popular spot as word gets out. I will admit when I heard that Lincoln Square was taking this spot I was a touch concerned given its proximity to the location at 56th and Emerson. I have no idea if both locations will stay open - while Emerson is closer to my home, I have to admit that I really love this particular location as it's far more wheelchair friendly and has a really nice ambiance. This is a breakfast/lunch restaurant, though I've definitely always found breakfast to be the strongest offering at Lincoln Square. I've seldom had any service issues at any Lincoln Square and I certainly didn't have any here. As this had previously been a restaurant, it's likely expected that they had existing curb cuts and appropriate accessible parking. Generally, Lincoln Square does pretty well at accessibility, though they have a couple locations that fall short. This one is one of the best. The doors are a little heavy, though employees are helpful. The interior design is situated pretty well and I had no difficulty identifying accessible tables for dining. I'm currently at home recovering from major surgery and was pleased when a friend offered to take me out to a mid-morning breakfast. I was even more pleased that it was Lincoln Square. I'm a fan of the pancakes here (big time), though I sometimes also go for French Toast. Generally, I find the food experience consistent from location to location - however, I have to admit that this location is starting off in the Lincoln Square upper tier with great food, nice portions, and warm/welcoming service. I do sometimes get lunch at Lincoln Square, though I'll admit I mostly find it a notch below breakfast - as a side note, this has changed a bit for the good since Lincoln Square expanded their concepts to include The Med (Irvington) and Costa's (Greenfield). If I were being completely honest, Lincoln Square is probably in the 4-5 star range. The food isn't what I'd call fancy, but I get good food, solid portions, and a fair price with service that always makes me want to return. On this visit, my pancakes and sausage were wonderful and I'd been craving fried potatoes - I spent several days of my hospital stay unable to eat and these were so good I practically wanted to cry. I'm still not able to get out independently, but I'm already thinking about who else I can get to drive me back to Lincoln Square.

    The Pancake Platter, with bacon, sausage, scrambled eggs, and hash browns. Yum!

    Great food with large portions. Classic rock music, and a nice inviting atmosphere. Abby was hella cool, friendly and attentive. Thanks for such a great dining experience.

We started with coffee and fresh squeezed orange juice, and you can immediately tell they don't cut corners--the OJ tasted bright, fresh, and totally worth it. Now let's talk about the food... because WOW. The Signature Pancake Platter was unreal--fluffy, golden, melt-in-your-mouth pancakes that honestly might be some of the best I've had. Adding the soft poached eggs took it to another level (that perfect yolk ), and the hash browns were crispy on the outside, soft on the inside--exactly how they should be. We also ordered the West Coast Omelet with feta, and it was packed with flavor--super fresh ingredients, cooked perfectly, and a generous portion. And yes... we had to add extra pancakes (no regrets), which were just as amazing the second time around. Shoutout to our server JJ, who was friendly, attentive, and made the whole experience even better. Service like that really stands out. Everything came out hot, fresh, and quickly, and the portions are more than generous for the price. You definitely won't leave hungry. The benches were the only downside, it is definitely time to replace them! But tables were clean and cute inside. If you're anywhere near here and craving a top-tier breakfast or brunch, don't even think twice--this spot is a MUST. Already planning my next visit!

It's a typical "diner" menu with eggs, pancakes, French toast, and crepes. They also offer some sandwiches like burgers, chicken sandwich, wraps, and even a Greek gyro. I had a biscuit with gravy, eggs, and hash browns for just $10. I also tried the Hoosier tenderloin (breaded pork sandwich). The kids also loved their food. This is a great, affordable option in downtown Indianapolis. Check it out when in town.

Same great staff, same cool space, same open kitchen where a party of one like me can grab a counter seat and watch the chefs do their thing. I've honestly always enjoyed that part of the experience. Today I had the avocado toast with feta and an egg on top, and it totally hit the spot. Earlier this week I tried one of the newer menu items -- fried chicken with mashed potatoes and gravy, plus a sample of jalapeño cornbread and Asian slaw. Incredible comfort food. And as someone who normally isn't much of a slaw person, I was surprised by how much I loved it. They also tried to tempt me with the roast beef special, which honestly looked great, but at 10:30 in the morning I just couldn't fully commit to roast beef yet. Maybe next time. The new name is a nice tribute to the owner's mother, Arleen, but thankfully it still feels like the Milktooth so many of us have come to enjoy over the years. Definitely worth checking out if you haven't been in awhile.

Enjoyed the iced coffee. Had the grits with bacon bits and egg. Did not realize I had the choice of how the egg could be prepared, so it was more runny than I liked. I also enjoyed the cinnamon bun. Not overly sweet. Just perfect.

We had our coffee before we had time to think and it was Amazing coffee. The mug is so cute (make sure you look into their mug deal if you plan on coming alot) and it was kept full by a team of smiling staff. The menu is broad variety of items yet they were over the top creations. I am a huge crepe fan, but I like savory crepes not the super sweet kinds, so I went with Swedish pancakes instead. I also tried the chicken apple sausage, it was not what I expected, ground chicken with light seasoning in a rough patty shape. The Swedish pancakes where good and a huge portion. I tasted the traditional pancakes and they are very good ,with the addition of their syrup it was dynamite . The decor is vintage 90s and I was there for it, even the locks and handles in the bathroom were adorable.

It no longer exist so you have to build this entree choice. The service was a little different, I think there is new management because there are new menu choices, but they kept core menu items like the Dutch Baby Pancake, and Apple Pancake. The servers were nice and attentive to my party. There's a bright neon pancake man sign when you come in the door. The decor is decent, the booth seating kind of moves near the front window section of the restuarant. The buttermilk pancakes are a staple and they were delicious but the bacon that is normally a fan favorite was so fatty. It was not the best. Also the scrambled eggs were a little runny, which was disappointing. I asked for scrambled hard eggs and did not get that from the kitchen. I would visit again, but hopefully the next visit will be better.

The gravy is homemade and has actual sausage in it (!) and it's served hot, not lukewarm. And if you get an egg cooked over easy to add to the mess, the egg will be cooked perfectly. Now, the biscuits in the b&gs may or may not be homemade. If you must know (and I know you must), the biscuits are a little too soft to hold up to all of that gravy. I wish the biscuits were just a touch more crispy on the outside. But this is me nitpicking. For great biscuits and gravy, go to Good Morning Mama's. For a great and unusual sandwich, get the Mama's Favorite: sliced hardboiled eggs, bacon, red onions, tomato, pickles, dill havarti cheese and horseradish aioli on slices of brioche bread. It sounds like a crazy amalgam of ingredients and a crotchety old man's dream sandwich, but just trust me! The Mama's Favorite might be a favorite for a reason. It's really freaking good. You're not going to want to make out with anyone after eating it, but you could also use it as a litmus test: How much do you want to make out with me? Are you willing to taste dill pickles and funky cheese and boiled eggs? Are you feeling lucky, punk? Because anyone who would make out with you after you ate this sandwich would be lucky, indeed. The soup of the day was Italian Wedding Soup, which had mini meatballs and spinach leaves and thin spaghetti noodles in a chicken broth-based soup. It was good. You can get a cup or bowl of any of the soups. Good Morning Mama's has a very nice ambiance going on: You seat yourself, which I am 100% behind always. You can sit outside on their big patio, or anywhere in their indoor dining room, which has booths and tables and even bar seating. Grab a menu as you enter. It's a very casual and relaxed vibe here. The service is top-notch, friendly and personable but efficient and casual, like the servers have been serving for decades. I like Good Morning Mama's a lot.
